Highway 5 Century Farm

Introducing Highway 5 Century Farm, where you'll be welcomed by the rolling hills of Southern Iowa, towering hardwood ridge tops, and an area recognized for producing some of the finest whitetail hunting in the country. Located just 5+/- miles from where the legendary "Albia Buck" was harvested by Tony Lovstuen, the former world-record whitetail scored an incredible 307 5/8 inches. From the moment you step onto this 95.46 +/- acre Monroe County property, you'll notice just how untouched this farm has remained. Having been in the same family for more than a century, it has served as a true sanctuary for mature whitetails for generations. Mature stands of oak and other hardwoods provide an abundant acorn crop each fall, while dense cedar thickets create exceptional bedding cover. The natural diversity of the habitat allows deer to live, feed, and travel with very little disturbance. Approximately 13+/- acres of productive tillable ground are located on the east side of the property, providing income potential while serving as a natural destination food source. An additional 4+/- acre overgrown meadow offers an outstanding opportunity to strategically place food plots to further enhance the property's hunting potential. The access on this farm is bulletproof with east access coming off of 628th ave and south access coming off of 247th street. This will ensure you are able to hunt your property multiple times without putting any pressure on the deer herd. Beyond its recreational appeal, the property also offers an excellent building opportunity. Located just 1.5+/- miles off Highway 5, you'll enjoy the privacy of a secluded country setting while remaining conveniently located 6+/- miles from Albia and 5+/- miles from Moravia, providing quick access to groceries, schools, and other everyday amenities. Whether you're searching for a hunting property, a place to build your forever home, or a legacy farm to pass down for generations, this farm offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of southern Iowa that has been carefully preserved for over 100 years!
